The Prince of Cherkessia

"The Prince of Cherkessia" is one of fourteen short stories written by Leslie Charteris and included in the thirteenth Saint book Boodle (aka The Saint Intervenes) published in 1934. It had previously been published in the newspaper Empire News as "The Vanishing of Prince Schomyl".

Plot
When a foreign prince orders a jewelled crown to be made for him during his visit to London, it's up to Chief Inspector Claud Eustace Teal to make sure the crown doesn't fall into the hands of The Saint. This story marks the return of Peter Quentin (last seen in "The Unusual Ending", the concluding story of The Brighter Buccaneer).
